Saturday's first half between Auburn football and Arkansas served to be a sloppy offensive outing.

Both team's quarterbacks — Auburn's Hank Brown and Arkansas' Taylor Green — threw three combined interceptions in a span of 26 seconds toward the end of the second quarter.

The rarity of this feat helped Arkansas hold onto a 7-0 lead heading into halftime of Saturday's SEC contest.

The first interception came at the 49-second mark of the second quarter when Hank was picked off by Arkansas's Jayden Johnson on Auburn's 30-yard line.

Two plays later, Tigers nose tackle Jalen McLeod tipped a pass from Green, leading Sylvester Smith to pick off Green for a 33-yard return. The final interception came from Brown on a first-and-10, when he overthrew one of his receivers and instead put it into the diving hands of Arkansas defensive back TJ Metcalf.

Brown, who was named the Tigers' starting quarterback last week prior to New Mexico, finished with three interceptions in the first half vs. Arkansas. He completed 7 of 13 passes for 72 yards.

Meanwhile, his counterpart completed 9 of 17 passes for 68 yards in the first half. The Razorbacks' lone touchdown of the first half came from running back Ja'Quinden Jackson, who ran a 1-yard carry in for a score in the second quarter.

Brown did not start the second half for Auburn, as Payton Thorne came out onto the field with the Tigers' offense to start the third quarter.
